This is the day, our day has come
When we must find the path, the peace for all our people
For much too long, we were a divided people
Now we must take a chance for peace within our land

Give peace a chance (Give peace a chance)
There is a way (There is a way)
We must leave behind dissensions of the past
This is the day (This is the day)
Our day has come (Our day has comе)
And we will walk the road for peacе for everyone

(I had a dream, I said I had a dream)
(I had a dream, I said I had a dream)

I had a dream that all the world was singing
I had a dream, our world was all at peace
I had a dream, all the children, they were singing
I had a dream that all the world could see

(I had a dream, I said I had a dream)
(I had a dream, I said I had a dream)
(I had a dream, I said I had a dream)

This is the day, our day has come
When we make a start and make a new beginning
Just take my hand and we'll walk together
And we will sing a song of peace across our land
